Heinz, my mum's partner and companion of 28 years lost his battle with cancer on Tuesday.
He was a quiet, highly intelligent man, but had suffered from non-Hodgkin's lymphoma for at least 15 years (or more), for which he successfully had chemo 8 years ago. But it was only a matter of time before the cancer came back and 2 years ago he had the first signs of recurrences, that only got worse. He was cut open various times in the last 2 years to see what was going on inside of him, but all the specialists were left scratching their heads, not knowing what to do. This was mainly due to him not only having non-Hodking's lymphoma, but also Morbus Hodkin's (Hodkin's lymphoma), and these two combined are extremely rare - they don't normally occur together in the same body in the same person.

My heart is broken for the family & friends of sweet Duante. No one deserves to be left like that. Truly a parent’s worst nightmare. No amount of money will ever bring him back but perhaps we can help ease the financial burden. https://www.gofundme.com/funeral-expenses-for-daunte #rip#senselesstragedy#praying
